Discussion of the Day
Oh, how far we have come.

To get into my car, I touch the handle, and it unlocks automatically with the mirrors opening out. Getting in, the screen said "Hello Paula, we have a surprise for you" and when I pressed the starter the screen burst into fireworks and wished me a Happy New Year. My car is pretty clever. It has electric heated seats, a heated steering wheel, auto parking and reversing, heads up, sat nav, self adjusting headlights, auto wipers, sensors front, rear and sides, cruise control and hill hold, push button braking and a small thing to slide instead of a gear stick. It knows where I have been and asks where I'm going, it will tell me a service is due, and the oil needs changing as well as send details on fuel economy. I suddenly remembered my first car, Bessie the Austin A30 with no seat belts, radio or heater. A very long gear stick, no synchro on first, turn the key and pull the starter as well as the choke, and it needed indicators fitted. My, how far we have come.
